This is the first year of Mercedes-Benz's legendary R107 body style—a 1972 450 SL with the potent 4.5L fuel-injected V8 that defined the marque's golden era. Both removable hard top and soft convertible top are included and in very good condition. The M117 engine runs beautifully with recent fuel system work including a new fuel pump and fresh fuel and injector lines.

The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, power steering and brakes feel responsive, and power windows operate crisply. Interior presents nicely with new door panels. Blaupunkt stereo with power antenna, newer tires.

Some surface rust visible on floor pans. A genuinely pleasurable drive—German engineering at its finest, ready for the open road or the show field.
